American Fortune Life

The atmosphere in the conference room has become a little awkward in the quarrel, and the biggest obstacle to the current negotiation is that the seven founders of Tesla Company hoped that they could retain some shares.

Especially Larry Page, Sergey and Ebay Jeff Skoll, who is not bad money, but Martin Eberhard, the true founder of Tesla, has been kicked out of the company and Musk, whose expression has been complicated and difficult to understand Nothing tangled here.

Elon Musk was forced by the board of directors to accept Andy Smith's takeover negotiations, and he has been unable to let go of the company's dominance that can be easily eroded step by step.

He had long decided not to get involved with Tesla company anymore, and he should continue playing with his own rocket with money. He didn't believe that the other side had been holding the mobile phone to play, like everything that happened in the conference room. Young people who don't care about him will allow him to dominate the company.

You should know that this seemingly young genius is not a good person. He is very good at acquisitions and mergers, and has a fierce outside consensus. He has laid off staff, kicked away the founders, and sent corruption. go to jail……

Don't look at the group of professional managers under his control like one another, that's because this young man can completely control these people. Everyone knows that Andy Smith's think tank is a group of gendarmerie, and the thing he does is to help him deal with every day. The briefings of various companies monitor the operation of each company, and the financial director and legal counsel of each company are all out of his think tank.

To be honest, Andy's method of controlling the company, the people who really understand will understand how rigorous and firm, in this case, of course, he can show a great deal of power to the eos. Similarly, he can also The letter can fire any EO without causing company upheaval.

Musk is also a genius, and also has the title of tyrant. He can be united by company employees to create a fan when he is married and honeymoon. I can imagine how uncharacteristic his character is.

He had already analyzed and partnered with Andy Smith. He didn't say a little about security, but also worked honestly and obediently. Once he violated him, Musk was convinced that Andy Smith would not even blink. Kick yourself away.

"Guys, let me tell you ..." Andy paused "Plant Vs Zombies" on his mobile phone, raised his head, said with a smile on his face, and calmed down the conference room. The eyes of everyone focused on him. Before continuing.

"US $ 200 million, I want 100% of Tesla's shares. I don't like trouble and constraints. I will definitely reform the company after taking over. Of course, you will still receive the founder's limit of Tesla Super Run. As a commemoration, after the completion of the first batch of orders, Tesla will conduct a round of financing, and the co-founders present will receive priority, which can be written into the memo.

After all, the first batch of orders, Tesla will definitely produce a large loss when it is delivered. I do n’t want you to regret it at that time. If you ca n’t hold 100%, then I can only say sorry to you! "

Andy's words calmed the atmosphere in the conference room, especially the executives of Tesla, who looked at each other and saw the worry in the eyes of the other party. To be honest, the management of these Tesla companies was desperate. Such a wealthy young rich man who is the boss, don't worry about having no money to burn, and don't have to pay Nima salary like he does now.

But at the same time, they are the most worried people, because the big boss who is about to take over the company is a ruthless master, and the layoffs are wielding six but do n’t do it. Carry out rectification. This rectification will definitely start with layoffs.

But they have nothing to do, they can only watch it. After all, what they work for is the fish on the chopping board, and these big bosses are at their mercy.

Andy's words were almost finalized. He didn't lose the money of these people. When he completed the acquisition, he put pressure on the price of the first batch of orders, minimized the loss, and then began to enlarge the move. Hype the new concept, he will only carry out the first round of financing after the company's valuation is raised, so that the four rounds of financing are over, and the ipo can be easily pushed on.

In fact, a few people in Larry Page also saw that Andy was willing to invest in projects that they had been optimistic about, and he was reluctant to retreat. No one could say that Tesla would be in the hands of Andy this little guy. Soaring into the sky, in case it ’s soaring into the sky, then you still do n’t regret it. There is n’t much money anyway, so it ’s better to keep a little share appreciation.

No one is a fool. The meaning in Andy's words is beyond comprehension. I do n’t want to play with you now. That ’s because the company ’s shares are now cabbage prices. Wait, wait for Xiaoye to raise the company ’s valuation. You also want me to play with you, you have priority in the first round of financing.

Several people in Larry Page also know that they ca n’t help it, unless they do n’t want to make the acquisition, or continue to throw money at Musk, or watch Tesla file for bankruptcy. You know, there are still a group of employees waiting to be fed .

Without continuing entanglement, the following negotiations began to enter a simple mode. Various asset checks, financial transfers, and documents were circulated and signed in front of Musk and a number of shareholders and Andy. Although it seemed very busy, but The whole process is very smooth.

"Papa"

In the conference room, after Andy and Musk handed over the contract, they shook hands when they applauded. Although warm, the smiles on the faces of everyone other than Andy were a little bleak and tasteless.

Tory Black, who is tall and tall, handed Andy seven white envelopes. Shareholders, including Musk, watched the first envelope being handed out by Andy and handed it to Musk.

"Happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation." ...

The check is handed over. Regardless of whether you are happy or not, the transaction has been concluded. Tesla has already belonged to Andy Smith from this moment. Tomorrow, we need this group of people to attend the press conference and tell the outside world and Tesla. Andy Smith, a good customer, took over Tesla and continued to develop clean and environmentally friendly electric vehicles.

This group of former shareholders were sent away. In the meeting room, Andy looked around at the Tesla management and development team with a smile and patted him.

"Snapped!"

"Okay, everyone, you are the only one left now. Come, everyone sit down, let's have a meeting!"

Andy stood on the main table of the conference table, and the smile on his face remained from beginning to end. He held a pen in his hand and pressed it vertically on the conference table. After waiting for everyone to sit down, he smiled and said, "From the sign From the moment we finished the word, we are all one family. I know that your mood is inevitably complicated and kind. Maybe you have heard some of my rumors.

Okay, I admit, I really thought about layoffs at Tesla, but one person's words convinced me. To be honest, I am more difficult to persuade, but I have to believe the words of this person. Are you curious who this person is? Hehe, okay, I won't sell Guanzi. Come in, Martin ... "

Everyone in the conference room heard Martin shouting at Andy, and he couldn't help but twitch a little, turned around and looked at the opened door, and the familiar face that had just left the conference room, Tesla The management members applauded with excitement.

They had probably guessed that the real founder of Martin Eberhard was recruited again by the new boss.

"Oh, okay, Martin, come sit down, everyone, let's continue the meeting ..." Andy chuckled twice, letting Martin sit in the first position on his left hand side, and then looked around for a week, his expression indifferent "Although there will be no layoffs, the salary will drop by 25%. I hope you understand the difficulties that Tesla is currently in."

Tesla's management is secretly relieved. As long as no layoffs are made, salary reductions are still acceptable, especially since the global economy is affected by the economic crisis. GM giant companies have begun large-scale global layoffs. The salary cut is perfectly acceptable.

"The appointment of personnel will be adjusted. The biggest problem we are facing now is the cost of the mass production model of Tesla electric sports cars. The first order must be a loss of money to sell the car. We can only increase our price by gritting our teeth. After all, pre-sale There are clauses in the contract, but in order to reduce credit damage to the company, we also accept unsubscribe. "

As soon as Andy's voice fell, there was a sudden uproar in the conference room, and some messy discussions started. Andy gave a few coughs. After everyone closed, he said calmly: "Raise the price to 110,000 US dollars, and start the formation negotiations Team, ask Panasonic and Mercedes to renegotiate the price!

Now Tesla, the battery is Panasonic, and the compartment is Mercedes. Tesla is unique in motor technology and battery management technology. However, this is not a technology that is so far away, and the difficulty of being replaced and surpassed is not difficult for those car manufacturers with a century of history or those with technology accumulation.

So, Martin, I will arrange for you a financial accounting team to join your technical development team, and continue to develop our new Tesla unique technologies, motors, batteries and battery management technologies, with reasonable cost control, to establish a more complete Product technology system and charging technology system. In the future, we will also start to build large-scale super charging stations in accordance with our own charging technology standards.

According to the trend that the energy density of lithium-ion batteries increases by 8% each year, and the cost is correspondingly reduced, the cost and price of our electric vehicles will become lower and lower. The world will have our Tesla cars. The coolest thing is Too much hot products, fashion products that will save the world ... "

There was a warm applause in the conference room. No one would underestimate the young boss standing on the main seat. Every sentence he said focused on the center of gravity of Tesla and also pointed out the future of Tesla. After a road of research and development, it is not fake to be excited. Sure enough, the reputation of genius is not blown out, he really understands.

Andy smiled and pressed his hands down slightly, but the applause still kept rising, and he could only raise his voice and said, "Of course we will make money and make a lot of money! When the time comes, I will take out shares to establish equity incentives, and we will Tesla It is the future of the automotive industry, and all rumors that Tesla is destined to fail will be self-defeating ... "

There was thunderous applause in the conference room, and the cheering seemed to tear the cloud that had been indispensable above Tesla's head!
